Kensington Palace announced the news on Monday night, writing, "The Prince of Wales has announced the engagement of Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle."

The Palace's Twitter account revealed several small details, including that Harry and Meghan became engaged "earlier this month" and are planning on the wedding taking place in Spring 2018.

The tweets read as follows:

A statement from Meghan's family was also released, wishing the couple 'a lifetime of happiness.'

As well as a statement from Meghan's soon-to-be royal in-laws, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, whose statement read, "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge said of the engagement: 'We are very excited for Harry and Meghan. It has been wonderful getting to know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together."

The Queen and Prince Philip are similarly chuffed, revealing they are "delighted for the couple" and that they "wish them every happiness."

An engagement has been in the works between the two for quite a while, with the couple staggering out various hints over the past few months. Appearing on the cover of Vanity Fair, Meghan opened up about her relationship, telling the publication, "I can tell you that at the end of the day I think it’s really simple. We’re two people who are really happy and in love."

Then came the public appearance! Harry and Meghan both attended several events of the Invictus Games, where they held hands and shared a few discreet kisses, alerting royal-watchers that an engagement was not far behind.

And then, of course, came the more official parts. Meghan quit her hit show, Suits, and moved to London, whilst Harry was making arrangements with the Queen for a royal wedding. Telling, we think.

Said royal wedding is planned for the spring of 2018, but so far, no other details have been given. As royal fans, we have, of course, speculated on some details, including dress designers, rings, locations and guest lists right over here.
